Colourful houses stacked onto the hillside around Brixham harbour in Torbay, South Devon, with the setting sun perfectly complimenting the illuminated shopfronts on the harbourside. A single trawler is moored beside the quay safely home from a day of fishing. The fishermen had their catch of the day, as did I. View the rest of our portfolio here Or visit our own website here

When I think of Cornwall, my mind is never far from the many old unspoilt fishing villages dotted round it’s rugged coastline. As with Polperro on the South coast, it’s narrow streets are of cobbled construction and too narrow for cars, so it’s sleepy atmosphere is the perfect way to get away from the stress of modern city life. Late afternoon light.
Another of my favourite little Cornish fishing villages, Mousehole, (pronounced MOW as in COW then ZILL) is on the Western end of Mounts Bay not far from Lands End. Like so many old Cornish fishing villages, the houses are densely packed in around the harbour and narrow streets are a joy to stroll round and soak in the atmosphere.
Mevagissey is another of my favourite little Cornish Fishing villages, situated in St. Austell Bay on the South coast of the county. Still a thriving fishing port but over recent years it has become a popular holiday destination and quite a number of the old fisherma’s cottages around the harbour are now used as Summer holiday homes with a view of the harbour and bay. /

Taken in beautiful late evening light just a few weeks before the catastrophic flood hit the old fishing village in August 2004. It all seems so tranquil here but few people could ever have imagined the scene of devastation when over four inches of rain fell in half and hour on that day, many centuries old houses were washed away, dozens of cars and vans were washed out to sea like little toys in a torrent that was way above the level of the outer harbour wall, thankfully nobody lost their life as a massive scale rescue plucked survivors from the rooftops of the houses by helicopter. The village has now been virtually rebuilt but at any time a repeat flood could just as easily happen, it makes you wonder what is happening to our climate.

They’ve been out fishing for five long days. Day and night the nets were cast, but the harvest was poor. The fish caught was much less than expected, but hopefully just enough for the Master to pay a small Christmas Bonus to the Crew. Less than last year’s, but together with their share of the catch, it should be adequate enough to see them through most of the Christmas-time expenses. The rough weather they encountered while at sea gave them a few bumps, but these were soon forgotten at the sight of their families on the jetty, just as soon as they approached the mooring spot at the small Fishing Village of Marsaxlokk. Christmas is just three days away and the forcasted rough weather will surely not see them out at sea for another week or so. Good job….they need to spend a few days with their families. This could be their first Christmas together for the last three or four years. The fish has already been loaded onto the truck, and the couple of hours spent cleaning the boat to make it ship-shape again and secure enough were well-worth the effort. All they could think of now is a well-earned rest.
My wife’s and my visit to the Yorkshire coastal village of Staithes coincided with the arrival of a bank of menacing sea fog that would not have looked out of place in a John Carpenter film. Out hearts sank : we had hoped to capture a view of the village from the high vantage point made famous by the landscape photographer, Joe Cornish. There was little chance of that when the fog threatened to prevent us from seeing the noses in front of our faces. However, we soon realised that the misty conditions were presenting us with the opportunity – which bright, clear conditions would not have allowed us – to photograph Staithes in a subdued, painterly and atmospheric light which helped to emphasize the mood of the place on that cold, fog-filled day.

9X12 Pen and Ink Sketch on Strathmore Water Color Paper hit with water color washes and acrylic highlights. This was the coldest day in April and this part of Peggy’s Cove was frozen over but still showed reflections and the wild sea beyond. Tough light.

Please View Large Wikipedia © Mousehole, along with Marazion, was until the 16th century one of the principal ports of Mount’s Bay. Before its decline as a major commercial centre, Mousehole also had a number of fairs and markets, including the charter for a market on Tuesdays, with a fair for three days at the festival of St Barnabas, granted to Henry de Tyes in 1292 . Mousehole, like many communities in Mount’s Bay, fell within the authority of the Manor of Alverton; all early charters, fairs etc. associated with Mousehole are associated with this manorial estate. / Mousehole, like Penzance, Newlyn, and Paul, was destroyed in the 1595 raid on Mount’s Bay by Spaniard Carlos de Amésquita, the only surviving building being the ‘Keigwin Arms’, a local pub. Outside the Keigwin Arms (now a private residence) is a plaque with the wording “Squire Jenkyn Keigwin was killed here 23rd July 1595 defending this house against the Spaniards”. Dolly Pentreath, who is often accorded the status of last native speaker of the Cornish language, is often listed as coming from Mousehole. There is in fact a small memorial to her in Mousehole itself, although a larger one exists in the nearby parish of Paul, which is historically the mother church and mother community of Mousehole. / Penwith is believed to be the last part of Cornwall to speak Cornish as a community language. Dolly Pentreath, the last recorded speaker (but arguably not the very last) came from Paul in Penwith. A year following the death of Dolly Pentreath, Barrington received a letter, written in Cornish and accompanied by an English translation, from a fisherman in Mousehole named William Bodinar stating that he knew of five people who could speak Cornish in that village alone. Barrington also speaks of a John Nancarrow from Marazion who was a native speaker and survived into the 1790s. / William Carvosso, the Methodist, was born here.
